0-60 time

Not the best but this is one of the best, I hope to eventually run under 4.5. This is Sport+, shifter to the left (Auto shifting), Traction/DCT off, brake boosting 1500 RPM.

With dct off, sport+ will be disabled my friend.. keep it in sport+ with shifter to the left

Im pretty sure you need to hit the traction button once after moving lever to the left...

In order to activate Launch Control.

Pretty sure thats what I did when I successfully activated it.

sspade · 11-27-2018, 12:22 PM

OP-

Have you tried Launch Control yet?

Haha either I said it wrong or I did it wrong.
but this is what I did:

1. Sport+
2. Shifter to the left
3. Held that traction button for 10 seconds (or however many seconds) until I saw the yellow light on the dash.

By this time I'd think I've turned off everything as far as any traction or stability controls go and car is in its most aggressive performance mode. True or not?

Mmm, might wanna double check that. You have M-Sport, right? My '13 Sport Line has LC.

SmoothStyle1 · 11-27-2018, 12:39 PM

What App is that?

jh_f30 · 11-27-2018, 12:45 PM

Also, try it without turning off traction control. AFAIK, when you long press the DSC button to turn off all traction control, it puts your throttle mapping back to Comfort. It might make a difference to just keep it in Sport+ in S mode as the other poster mentioned.

This. Holding DSC down will switch the car back to Comfort.

I have tried it couple times but I couldn't find it either in the car menu or even when I tested it when I got the car, I will one more time recheck it though. Would your production date be different? Mine is 2012-07-16

Damn this is news to me, I will try again just doing that then. Isn't partial traction still on if I don't hold the button down to fully shut it all off?

I was totally not aware of it but since now I am, more reasons to do more launches to see if this makes any difference.

Mine is Feb. 2013. Do you know how to activate LC?

They way I tested it or would do again to check would be to put the car in Sport+ mode, shifter to the left, press and hold brake with left foot, press and hold right foot on the gas beyond the click and a flag should appear on the dash and that's when I'd let go off the brake pedal and launch

And that's probably the difference, LC probably came after my car's production month/year

sspade · 11-27-2018, 01:17 PM

You have to hit traction button ONCE not hold it after the stick is to the left.

Works for my car...

(Like I said in my original post)

Haha alright I will try that, hit it once and see if that activates launch control.

Other thing I read is, I have to drive the car at least 10 miles before I do LC so I will do that too
